the final words of Jesus

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

It is finished.
I thought his final words were Eli Eli Lama Sabachtani - My God my God why have you abandoned me? I’m quite certain we were singing that in church the week before Easter. Quite certain.

The Muslims are just a sect of Christians which are a sect of the Israelite religion that branched off a common ancestral religion that also gave rise to Judaism. Selling their daughters is a cultural phenomenon and has been for thousands of years.
Exodus 21
Deuteronomy 22
Exodus 21
quote:
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.
Deuteronomy 22
quote:
If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are caught in the act, the man who lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the young woman’s father, and she shall become his wife. Because he violated her he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives.

What do you do for a living? As the cost of energy goes up, I make more money. Every time I smell diesel exhaust, I smell money. I don’t mind filling up ay $5/gal. High energy cost is good for the Louisiana economy. It makes it more profitable to get it out of the ground in Louisiana. The refiners make more money along the Mississippi and Calcasieu rivers. The LNG industry in Cameron and Port Sulphur are killing it. There’s a lot of supporting businesses and pass through. We all win, even though food and fuel costs more.

You are describing a contradiction to what is taught in the Bible rather than merely information being left out of the Bible. Alien life on other planets would be something that is not mentioned in the Bible but not contradictory to its claims.
Wrong.
The Bible describes a flat disk shaped earth built on pillars on top of a chaotic ocean, with another ocean on top of an extremely hard and strong dome shaped firmament above the flat disk. It describes all the things in the heavens - the sun, moon, and stars (no difference between stars and planets in the Bible) to be contained within the firmament.
The biblical cosmological model precludes there being other worlds from where aliens could come.

If you need cancer treatment or surgery, are you going to opt for a white or Asian doctor who had to beat out all the DEIs, or are you going to pick a DEI doctor? Despite some DEI types being intelligent, skilled, and experienced, why take a chance on one of them? The problem is the system.
The world isn’t fair. Population groups are different and have different characteristics. Some are better than others at certain things. It’s science actually.

Haven’t you figured out your tales of the man Jesus are totally fabricated non-historical allegory?
You are one of the most knowledgeable persons on the Bible on this forum, not on the meaning or history, but on the English words contained within it. Yet you can’t come to grips with the fact that it’s not a historical account, but a piece of literature written as the author is omniscient - knowing exactly the thoughts and words said between the devil and Jesus who were on a mountain just the two of them, and knowing of everything that happened at the empty tomb despite the women running away in fear and telling no one - in a chiasmic ring structure with many of the tales of Jesus taken from Homeric epics and the legends of the prophets of the Old Testament such as Elijah, Jonah, Joshua, and Moses.

Or is it that you presuppose I am mocking because of your bias? Some people believe in elves and leprechauns and especially ghosts. The Bible says King Saul spoke to the ghost of Samuel. The Bible polemicizes against necromancy and summoning and communicating with ghosts. I’m just saying that angels and demons are fictitious and on par with other fictitious imagined creatures.
quote:
Jesus is not a fictional character in a made up story.
You wrote that pretty matter of factly. Like what you wrote is a fact. I am just as convinced and would also consider it a fact that the Jesus character is fictitious. The only exception that makes sense to me is if the great archangel and firstborn son of God that Philo and Paul (who had the alleged revelation that none before had that the archangel was killed and resurrected and then named Iesous and highly exalted) and other Christians were already worshipping got associated with a crazy apocalyptic preacher possibly also named Iesous or Yeshu as that was already a common name.

And you’re pretty dogmatic about it.
Nope, I have no dogma. The truth is what the evidence supports, whether I like it or not.
quote:
Hopefully I meet the angels I think you’re closer than you think. I’m pulling for you!
Better to meet them than the cherubim, or seraphim, or ophanim, or Yahweh himself who supposedly can’t be seen else the sight of him would kill you. Why do you think in one of the fictional tales of Jesus’ nativity, the angel tells Mary “be not afraid”? She was probably thinking “Holy Crap! I sure hope that isn’t Adonai because I’m about to die!”
quote:
All evidence points to the fact that the universe began to exist.
I’m not sure what you are talking about. Not one legitimate scientist believes the universe began to exist. Matter can neither be created or destroyed. Energy too for that matter.

Why not? Seriously. I’m curious.
Think about how around 74,000 years ago the Toba super volcano erupted in Indonesia causing a genetic bottleneck - it was so bad that there were only a few thousand humans left alive. What if that were to happen today? Only the most primitive tribes in the Amazon and Africa might survive because they are the only ones that know how to survive without technology. Modern humans have had our level of intelligence for a couple hundred thousand years. Only in the last hundred did we figure out how to harness electromagnetic energy to communicate. Maybe in the next couple thousand years a comet wipes out 99% of humanity. In order to communicate across the galaxy and across galaxies, intelligent life would have to send out a communication and by the time it would be received, the sender’s civilization and maybe even their planet and solar system are long gone.
The distances are too vast. The only possible way to communicate or to have intergalactic travel would be to figure out how to survive in space indefinitely and figure out how to fold space time which based on our current understanding of science is about impossible.

How do you know they’re not angels or demons? Are you open to that possibility?
Angels and demons are fictive classes of divine beings created in the imagination of ancient peoples. Could they be some type of life that we might consider supernatural? Maybe. But they aren’t and can’t be the angels and demons of the Bible because those are fictitious on par with elves and leprechauns and ghosts.

Me too. But what if they’re angels/demons?
Hopefully I meet the angels and not the daimons. Hah. Well just kidding. The daimons are better than meeting the angel in 1 Chronicles 21:15-17. Daimons were simply lesser gods that weren’t even evil in Greek mythology. Some were good and some were mischievous but they were subordinate to the higher ranked deities.

It’s not BS. You’re confused. There is absolutely a growing number of scholars who admit Jesus was a myth, while at the same time still the majority defends the position that Jesus was a historical person.
quote:
Even Bart Erman (dude is going to have quote the millstone tied around his neck when he dies - I'd hate to be him) says it's irrefutable that there was ahistorical Jesus.
Have you heard his arguments??? He says the gospels are completely unreliable about anything historical, that outside the gospels the historical Jesus isn’t really mentioned, that Josephus’ blurbs about Jesus were Christian additions. Basically he says there is no reliable information at all about Jesus, but come on man he must’ve existed. It’s an awful argument and isn’t scholarly. At best he should say there’s no way to know but he leans towards a historical model, but he acts like mythicists are idiots. He’s the idiot.
His colleagues and peers I’m positive are mythicists but they don’t want to offend the guy they idolize. After the older scholars kick the bucket in the next 15 years the mythicists will come out of the closet and it will be mainstream.
